egypt's got the same to cairo as they wait the results of the country's first democratic presidential elections and spoiled little boy was also the last of this as the muslim brotherhood declares and on the fiscal believe. greece grants the euro a stay of execution that's after probate party takes the lead in parliamentary elections but the debt crisis will still be giving g. twenty leaders a headache as a meeting in a mexico. the e.u. says it's committed to breed oil embargo against iran and forced by july as moscow's an international conference on iran's nuclear program.
5:01 am
one of the out in the russian capital you're watching r t with me josh you all come to the program now ballots are being counted in egypt after voters hit the polls to elect the country's first president since former leader hosni mubarak was forced from office last year the muslim brotherhood is claiming the lead based on a count from ninety percent of polling stations are his falsely year is in cairo. people are beginning to gather in tough here square just as the muslim brotherhood candidate dr mohamed morsi makes the announcement that he has won these elections and that he is egypt's next president the muslim brotherhood claims that ninety nine percent of votes have been counted and according to their own people who were present at all of the polling stations throughout the country the candidate came in with some thirteen point two million votes this is the equivalent of some fifty one point eight percent and they put the contender after which i think at forty eight
5:02 am
percent now is challenging this he says that this is a deceit of the egyptian people and interestingly enough there is an independent television station here in egypt running reports that it is just sick who is in the lead and they quote independent election observers but it is worth noting that last month during those presidential elections being muslim brotherhood gave its own results before the official results were announced and those results were completely accurate no one can really predict what is going to happen after the results come through certainly the people that i've been polling the most constant reaction i get is that it doesn't matter whether it's morsi or shafiq who wins there are going to be street protests throughout egypt if morsi comes forward this does paint the scenario for a showdown between the military and the muslim brotherhood because of course suffix is the military candidate now the army recently went so far as to issue an interim
5:03 am
constitution it has made itself effectively egypt's in all makers and it says that it will be responsible for appointing those people who will draft a final constitution these are important elections but there are a lot of questions that still remain unanswered questions such as what power will this new president have this needs to be debated in outlined in this new constitution and of course the overriding question whether or not the military will hand over powers of promises of will on the first of july and indeed even. it does will it continue to control the strings from afar and if yes to what extent these two contenders have a lot of support and it has been too difficult for predictions to be made before these elections in terms of who will come forward with an ultimate victory pose the reporting there now kyra based journalist sara mohammed ali says there will be public upset no matter which side takes to win. now we've got a great divide between the supporters and the muslim brotherhood of course dr morsi
5:04 am
supporters in both cases are use there will be protests no one is going to be pleased with the results because the divide is extreme in my opinion if mr shifty wins the elections there will be massive protests and demonstrations and i think a lot of the people whether or not you are muslim brotherhood supporters or revolutionaries or reformers will actually retreat to the streets of tahir and actually shout out weyerhaeuser revolution gone because you cannot have a remnant of the expert lead us into this new wave of transition but in the case that the muslim brotherhood's candidate dr morsi wins there will be a lot of depressed revolutionaries and. some brotherhood supporters will feel that egypt now is now in you know embarking on and on a different level of knowledge which will actually take place if dr morsi
5:05 am
wins all the way here an r.t.s. spinning syria as reports of new killings amount in the country lean on confirmed foreign officials and spend doctors are jumping on the chance to sell their own version of events warrant that in a few minutes. greece's new democracy party is due to begin talks on forming a new coalition government falls its victory in the country's parliamentary election however the party fell well short of a receiving an outright majority in sunday's whole new democracy will need help from the socialists to implement the bailout and try to keep greece a float in the euro zone it's a clear repeat of last month's bill after which coalition talks collapse prompting the country to go to the ballots again as art is going to check out reports of this is a canard condition will be one of the top seems at today's g. . twenty summit in mexico. as far as global economy greece is on everyone's mind
5:06 am
right now sunday elections there showed an outcome that is likely to ease fears around the world at least temporarily of a greek exit from the seventeen nation euro zone greece's economy falls out of the euro zone investors will become nervous about other financially shaky countries such as italy spain that would likely drive up borrowing costs with these countries that's already happening they'd be constantly seeking international bailouts europe would be trapped in a vicious circle that would send shock waves across the global financial system what's at the core of the problem as many see it here is nations that believe beyond their means some take it too far and the message is they should be more responsible what's interesting that you twenty summit started four years ago when america's living beyond its means brought down the global economy back then the leaders of the world's top twenty commies got together and marshal the trillion dollars to rescue the world from the credit crisis it became clear to everyone that
5:07 am
the world is so interconnected now that irresponsible actions of one of the countries can trigger a domino effect and have huge impact on others of course it's not just the global economy that the leaders are here for their very pressing political let's say war and peace issues on the agenda with regards to syria the ongoing violence there is of extreme concern to everyone as far as how to go forward there are some differences even big president putin and president obama are meeting early on monday is going to be the first bilateral meeting since the russian leader took office in may and is taking place in challenging times we'll see what they will have to say washington and moscow are accusing each other of stoking violence in syria the u.s. says russia provides weapons that assad uses to kill civilians moscow rejects the claim and says it only supplied air defense systems under existing contracts russia says the u.s. contributes to the violence in syria by poor arms supplies through the rubble. we know that saudi arabia and qatar are actively supplying weapons to syria and arms
5:08 am
position groups washington he said to coordinate their efforts moscow believes those are actions that undermine kofi annan six point peace plan which calls for end of violence on all sides and dialogue both russia and the us agreed on the kofi annan peace plan which was designed to enable the series to choose their own future eventually but they see very differently on how to reach that goal president putin by the way did not attend the g eight summit in the us in may he sent the prime minister it was a signal to some that the g. twenty is now seen as a better platform for talks because it's more inclusive you have trying to india and other global players who also get to have a say on global affairs. so you either has a man or women tilden the elderly and injured to be evacuated from syrian combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission heavy fighting continues in towns across syria with scores of people being killed in clashes between the
5:09 am
opposition and government troops on sunday activists say regime forces tried to root out rebels from urban areas by having shelling in the central city of homs. they also say that in the town of duma just outside the capital damascus rebels opened fire on a bus of soldiers killing eight u.s. is now consulting its allies and what to do about this collation of violence but has acknowledged a libya style intervention to topple the government would be difficult it is worried of has more. as the syrian crisis becomes ever more brutal by the day. oh critics say that key players trying to resolve the conflict have been raising more questions than answers unfortunately what we are seeing is reports that are in are really. the participants in one side of this plan slick and that's very very dangerous because the words when you hear only one side of the information your solution is always in their favor there were the massacres
5:10 am
committed and close range over one hundred people the vast majority of them women and children some killed by heavy weapons the other killed it seems by every indication by the should be a militia is acting on behalf of the government western leaders were quick to blame the assad government for last month's houla massacre even when their own media didn't draw the same conclusion b.b.c. world news editor john williams was in syria he reported quote the details of exactly who carried out the attacks how and why were still unclear yet the old line of blame damascus was still being shouted the reason that the situation on the crisis is a brick. so good and that there is now a space for these good elements to come in and cause mayhem in syria is because the syrian government has failed to live up to its commitments under the am plan its commitments to the international community as britain's school that the assad
5:11 am
government for bypassing the peace plan the free syrian army was planning a bypass of its own demanding that joint special envoy kofi annan should quote issue a declaration announcing the failure of this plan unquote freeing the opposition to carry out military operation against the government time to the no down they did it deliberately meanwhile channel four journalist alex thompson claimed syrian rebels deliberately let him into a death trap to be killed by government forces according to thompson's account one rebel said. all back to the market then comes the washington divide over who is aiding damascus one voice says we have confronted the russians about stopping their continued arms shipments to to syria and we are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria while another says the opposite i have not seen reporting that indicates.
5:12 am
that the russians are providing attack helicopters to the syrians i have just not seen that the us flip flop on brusha coincided with the un's fancy footwork regarding the state of syria the united nations for the first time saw a u.n. official describe the situation in syria as a civil war in an interview with reuters you want undersecretary general for peacekeeping operations are they let's sue confirmed that the syrian crisis could be characterized as a civil war declaration countered by the un the next day well i think it's clear that it's not for us to determine or formally. characterize the nature of the conflict in syria a conflict that many say isn't just black and white but illustrates many shades of grey following sixteen months of conflict the united nations is leading efforts to stop the violence in syria however the information war taking place outside the
5:13 am
country may prove to be the biggest barrier to be elusive goal of fully understanding and solving the problem marina for non-art see new york. now is talking to me of military intervention in syria another country were it did take place is still struggling to pick up the pieces later today we asked the former u.s. senator chris dodd whether he sees another iraq scenario unfolding in libya here's a preview. he's running the place today i mean in a sense that's the the dangers in all of these things here you know the devil you know the devil you don't know kind of situation so clearly it was so repressive what was occurring there and libya may have to go through a period here where you don't go if immediate transition from ousting a brutal dictator to a jeffersonian democrats it shows up there are periods here of transition which libya is going through that are breuer painful to watch but i think russia could
5:14 am
play a role i know they didn't want to necessarily be involved in supplying military hardware and gauging and the conflict as it was developing but i don't think that a lot of now cause you to not find a way to become involved in a constructive way to help that country get on its feet and find its center and give it an opportunity to grow and to provide some decent opportunities for people in that country so the fact that you rejected the idea of being involved in the ouster khadafi ought not to pollute it seems to make now turning around say we didn't do that this is the outcome how can we be constructive and help now get this country back on its feet and stabilize it. russia seeking to break the long running stalemate over iran's new. your program as moscow host an international conference on the converse will issue their faces tough new sanctions from the west where the e.u. promising to bring in oil embargo into force in july islamic states may stop enriching uranium to a high level but only if you are up agrees to supply the fuel instead of has the
5:15 am
latest. all eyes are on moscow as the third round of talks over iran's nuclear ambitions kicks off today right there behind me in the hotel is where the key officials from the five permanent member countries of the u.n. security council plus germany are meeting in order to try to avert a potential collapse in diplomacy over iran's nuclear ambitions the stakes could not possibly be higher as israel has in fact threatened to bomb iran should the negotiations fail on top of this we have the confirmed u.s. use of cyber weapons to destroy iran's nuclear program and pressure for the u.s. president barack obama who is of course running a reelection campaign from the congress to consider a very seriously a military solution to this standoff should diplomacy fail now in the background of all this are tough economic sanctions that are looming ahead for tehran one of the
5:16 am
things that must be considered here is that there is a lot of pressure by western countries to essentially push iran to not only give up its nuclear ambitions something that iran has refused to do apology and that it has a peaceful civil nuclear program demanding that world powers recognize its right to maintain that civil nuclear program that is not something that the west has been essentially happy to consider thus far they want to a lot of intensive mans on tehran with what tehran says very little incentives in return and it remains to be seen whether the west will consider abandoning the impending european union oil embargo as well as the banking sanctions that are looming against the islamic republic so a lot is on the table here whether or not this gets resolved remains to be seen but the stakes are as high as they could possibly be here in moscow this account of reporting there while we have more reports and analysis on iran on our website r.t. dot com so plenty of other stories waiting for you there right now as well here's
